-Lurid Crime Tales-
Electoral Voters 'Deluged' With Death Threats In Multiple States
[WND] One of Michigan’s 16 electors who will be called upon to cast a vote validating the election of Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
in the Electoral College has testified on video that he and others in the state are receiving "dozens and dozens of death threats" from Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
supporters urging them to switch their votes to Clinton.

On Dec. 19 the Electoral College will convene to cast their votes for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, with each state’s electors pledged to vote for the candidate elected on Nov. 8 in their state.

But more than a dozen states have no laws making it illegal for the electors to change their vote while others have only a minor penalty such as a fine for doing so. If Clinton’s supporters can get enough of the 163 electors from states where Trump both won and votes can be legally switched on Dec. 19, Hillary Clinton becomes the next president of the United States.

Michael Banerian, 22, of Oakland County, Michigan, is one of that state’s 16 official electors who will meet in the state capital of Lansing on Dec. 19 to cast their votes for Trump. He told the bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
News Thursday he has received threatening emails, lots of them, from people telling him to vote for Democrat Clinton instead of the GOP victor he is pledged to support. Trump won Michigan’s popular vote and should be able to count on the 16 electoral votes in that state.

#1  "Making terrorist threats of death" I believe is a felony.
Posted by: Jeasing Creque5352 || 11/28/2016 2:09 Comments || Top||

#2  Where's the f*cking FBI?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 11/28/2016 5:27 Comments || Top||

#3  Supposing Mr. Banerian - a young fellow, at that - is struggling with his conscience about voting the way he's supposed to. Maybe he's paving the way to vote for Hilly and has not received a single a lot of threats?

No? How 'bout this one - Trump's bully boys are doing it to make poor, maligned Mrs. Clinton look bad worse.

#4  If the electoral college results do not mirror state voting and were to give Hildabeest the White House, there will almost certainly be national uprising and bloodshed not seen since the civil war. Democrat idiots have no idea what they would be unleashing.

#5  In addition to the felony part mentioned by Jeasing Creque5352 I should think treason charges should be added.

Give 'em 20 years to life to send the message not to mess with the process.

Squishes and RINOs afraid to nuke filibuster
Tell me you're surprised.

The voters have given Trump and the GOP the opportunity that they have been requesting. Have no fear, they'll punt it.

#1  I kind of like the filibuster, but I think it should require something more than a senator just saying so and going on with other business.

#2  The expectation that appeasement will satisfy Democrats never works.
Posted by: Heriberto Greper9897 || 11/28/2016 7:27 Comments || Top||

#3  Do on to others as they have done on to you.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 11/28/2016 7:32 Comments || Top||

#4  I recommend a simple solution: revert back to the previous filibuster rules after the same number of days Obama enjoyed the change. Seems fair to me.

#5 
And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that.

#6  first off, the filibuster is very complicated but applies to only some legislation and confirmations

it would be politically best to have good legislation and good nominations and let the Donks make themselves look bad by filibustering

#7  let the Donks make themselves look bad by filibustering

With the exception of a few glorious years under Newt's leadership, this has been the Republican strategy for 25 years.

How's it worked out for the country?

#8  reg joe

with respect to judicial appointments its worked out reasonably well - unfortunately some thought to be conservative judges have flipped but that's a different story

with respect to legislation, that is partly a matter of a lack of 'good' legislation

the welfare reform bill (yes- with Newt's help) passed during a donk president

the medicare part D passed during W's admin is working out reasonably well also (to many people's surprise)

but the difficult problem is that Congress has a tough time (even the Republicans) keeping pork projects and feel good baloney out of legislation

#10  During the next two years, both houses should concentrate on looking for laws to repeal, not enact any more of them
Posted by: Raj || 11/28/2016 14:57 Comments || Top||

#11  I'm wondering if the Republicans should perhaps abuse the crap out of their power and teach the Democrats the value of limited government the hard way.

Unfortunately they won't learn the lesson and would just escalate when given the chance.

#12  The Mitch McConnell wing of the party - letting Dems get away with murder, then care taking for them when the voters occasionally revolt.
Posted by: Iblis || 11/28/2016 18:24 Comments || Top||

#13  Senate staffer: Senator McConnell, the voters are revolting.
Senator McConnell: Yes, I also find them revolting.

#14  Coffee thru nose alert, aisle 13.
